So, which was the game about the suspected rigged penalty in the match Adrian mentioned? Some fans have pointed out that it could have happened in the 2018 match in which Atalanta drew 1-1 with Guoan away from home. In the 97th minute of the game at the time, Guoan took a corner kick and the referee awarded a penalty after Wang Shouting took a handball in the box. Then, Jiang Zhe was also sent off for receiving a second yellow card. Soriano took the penalty kick in the 99th minute, and the two sides drew 1-1. In that season, Yatai was eventually relegated.
Adrian's comments have caused a lively discussion. I believe only the relevant official authorities can answer whether Beijing Guoan's 1-1 Yatai home match was a match-fixing. However, looking back at the match scene, Wang Shou's handball giveaway was indeed amateurish and clearly had a bit of subjective awareness. As for whether the keeper was acquired? That is also an open question!
